The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus has had a severe impact on Indonesia, this does not only concerns health issues but also extends to all aspects of life, especially the economy and business. In the economic sector, the Covid-19 pandemic feels very deep, because it has destroyed the most important sides of the economy, namely supply and demand. This affects all economic sectors, including MSMEs. It should be noted that MSMEs were able to contribute 57.32 percent to GDP and were able to absorb labor up to 97% in 2018. The importance of the role of MSMEs in the economy is also inseparable from the fact that 64.5% of this sector is managed by women. This research will try to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the performance of women MSMEs, as well as explore the innovative strategies adopted by these MSMEs to survive in their business. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods used in cross-sectional surveys, using questionnaires, and structured interviews to collect primary data. This study focuses on women's MSMEs in the city of Padang, especially in the most extensive sub-district in the city, namely Koto Tangah. The results of the study reveal that the difficult times due to the pandemic have changed the mindset of several MSMEs in Koto Tangah to adopt new marketing strategies. This research will also reveal new marketing strategy opportunities and challenges that need to be a concern for female MSME actors.

Direct Foreign Investment (FDI) has been considered as one of the important strategies in long-term economic evelopment. FDI is seen not only as a capital transfer but also has an important effect on increasing the host economy. FDI then became popular in many countries, so it was interesting to analyze the effects produced, both positive and negative. This research focuses on countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) with the aim of conducting empirical studies on opportunities for employment creation by FDI. However, due to limited data in several countries, this study only involved Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The type of data used in this study is annual data covering from 1980-2017. Using estimation Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) allows to see short-term and long-term effects. The test results prove that the influence between variables is more visible in the long run.

MSMEs have developed and become a key pillar in the national economy. Nevertheless, women's participation in MSMEs is still limited, despite the fact that women have a lot of potential to boost the economy through SME ownership. The positive attitude of women in MSMEs towards the adoption of technology is among the parameters that might have influenced their usage of technology. In the present day of transforming communication and information technologies, the acceptability of technology is becoming increasingly essential for the continuing development of MSMEs. The aim of this study is to use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine how women's participation in MSMEs relates to their acceptance of technology in the Koto Tangah Padang region. A paradigm called the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used to describe how people understand and utilize information technology systems. The method used involves the application of SEM PLS 4.0. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and structured interviews. The results of the research indicate that women in MSMEs' degree of trust in technology is significantly influenced by their perceptions of perceived security and simplicity of use. Additionally, It has been proven to be the most influential factor influencing women in MSMEs' intentions to use technology for their businesses is trust.

Indonesia memiliki potensi yang luar biasa di bidang perikanan, khususnya pada perikanan air tawar.

Dominantly, women's SMEs in the city of Padang claim to experience capital problems. But basically, capital is not only related to financial issues but also social issues, including social capital. In general, research tends to focus on the overall performance of MSMEs without specific studies on social capital and women. This research aims to analyze the role of social capital resources in women-owned MSMEs in Padang City using qualitative analysis methods such as Descriptive Crosstabs and Binary Logistic Regression Analysis. The social capital variables raised are the level of trust, norms or customs, mutual help and participation of MSMEs in every activity. Data will be collected through questionnaires, interviews and observations in all districts in the city of Padang. The research results reveal that social capital is considered to be able to build strong networks and has the potential to improve the performance of women-owned MSMEs in Padang City. Through surveys and interviews, this research can conclude that the variables of mutual help/cooperation and trust have been proven to be able to build their business relationships, which ultimately affect their productivity.

Women-owned MSMEs play a strategic role in the national economy. However, many women MSMEs do not yet have adequate digital capacity to respond to changes in consumer behavior that now rely on technology in making purchasing decisions. In addition, structural barriers such as limited access to technology and capital, as well as socio-cultural barriers such as gender stereotypes and double workloads, complicate the process of adopting digitalization. Although many studies discuss these challenges, there are still limited studies that specifically explore the digital marketing strategies implemented by women-owned MSMEs in response to the dynamics of consumer behavior, especially in the local context. This study aims to analyze the digital marketing strategies adopted by women-owned MSMEs in Padang City. The approach used is a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design, starting with a survey of 125 women MSMEs, followed by in-depth interviews. The findings of this study indicate a significant shift in consumer behavior in the digital era, emphasizing the importance of convenience and ease in purchasing decisions. Therefore, it is crucial for women-led MSMEs to understand these behavioral changes and master appropriate marketing strategies to thrive in this evolving market landscape.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on MSMEs is believed to be greater due to the high level of vulnerability due to changes in people's lifestyles. Several policies carried out by the government, such as large-scale social restrictions (PSBB), a ban on going home and the recommendation to "stay at home" are aimed at reducing the number of spread of this virus. However, this situation also has an economic impact on the income of business actors, especially MSMEs. In the midst of this situation, digital marketing is a way out that can become the main strategy in expanding the market. In this community service, we focus on training MSMEs in Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province in the field of digital technology through social media platforms. This strategy is believed to be very effective in expanding the market and strengthening branding. This service activity was carried out in November 2020, through training methods and social media creation practices. The result of this activity is that around 80% of MSMEs have used social media and are able to create persuasive messages. MSMEs have also paid special attention to strengthening product branding. This training can be continued with the creation of e-commerce for a wider marketing reach.
